Video: Watch the first-ever English musical about Dubai

Dubai - Amazing Dubai tells the story of the emirate from how it was in the 1880s to where it is today, through the eyes of an Emirati family.

Amazing Dubai, the first-ever musical in English about Dubai, will soon premiere at the Madinat Theatre, Souk Madinat Jumeirah.  
The musical tells the story of the emirate from how it was in the 1880s to where it is today, through the eyes of an Emirati family.  
Brian Wilkie, Executive Producer of Amazing Dubai, came up with the idea over a decade ago. He says, "Our motive is to show Dubai as it grew. People still think of Dubai as a modern city with shopping malls and beaches. I wanted to do something that would portray Dubai in the real sense of how it started from a small fishing village to what it has become now. We want to show why it happened and the people who made it possible."
Amazing Dubai will premiere at the Madinat Theatre, Souk Madinat Jumeirah on October 4, 2017.
